4Thus saith the Lord: You shall not go up, nor fight against your brethren: let every man return to his own house, for by my will this thing has been done. And when they heard the word of the Lord, they returned, and did not go against Jeroboam,

15Amah ham te hmuensang khosoih a pai sak tih maae neh vaitoca ham khaw a saii.
15And he made to himself priests for the high places, and for the devils, and for the calves which he had made.
16Tedae amih hnukah Israel koca boeih lamkah khaw Israel Pathen BOEIPA toem ham a thinko a paek uh tih a napa rhoek kah Pathen BOEIPA te nawn ham Jerusalem pawk uh.
